Afrobeats singer and songwriter, Owodunni Ibrahim, popularly known as Prime Boy has been considered a person of interest in the death of Nigerian Afrobeats singer, MohBad known in real life as Ilerioluwa Aloba.
Prime Boy was declared wanted by the Police recently after the security agency opened a full investigation surrounding the death of the Beast and Peace singer.
Prime Boy, who is a childhood friend of MohBad but well known by many others as the late rapper’s brother, has been named in the allegations that led to the death of the singer.
The Lagos State Police Command made an announcement, on October 5, stating that Owodunni Ibrahim, known as Prime Boy, has voluntarily surrendered himself to the authorities to aid in further investigations.
This follows the declaration of Prime Boy wanted by the police with a 1 million Naira bounty placed on his head due to his non-compliance. The bounty was triggered after police summons sent to Ibrahim at the beginning of the investigation into MohBad demise were not honored.
